You can support military members by playing golf

Soldier On is an initiative that supports the military and there’s a fundraiser for the charity this long weekend.

If you’re on one of three area golf courses, you’ll be asked to support the initiative.

Tom Hedican is one of the Honourary Colonel’s at 22 Wing and says each of them has pledged to raise $1,000.

Hedican says three area golf courses are taking part including Pinewood Park, Osprey Links and the North Bay Golf and Country Club.

He says all the courses will have signage and details on Soldier On.

The Canadian Armed Forces program supports currently serving members and veterans to overcome their physical or mental health illness or injury through physical activity and sport.

Fellow Honourary Colonel George Burton says this is a great way to get out on the course and help others at the same time.

Hedican says the Country Club will also have military members on the course this weekend.
